“The layer-upon-layer-upon-layer rock of Summerbirds in the Cellar‘s ethereal vocals, blasting guitar, marching drums, and serene synth lines is enough to make me scream, cry, and bellow into the night, thanking God, Jah, Allah, and Yahweh for the opportunity to bear witness.“ – Rolling Stone

“The patience precision of Druids further confirms Summerbirds in the Cellar as the region‘s most important and talented band. “ – Reax Magazine

This trio of Floridian shoegazers create fuzzed out, synth-laden indie rock that is both intelligent and danceable. The result is as haunting as it is healing. Chief vocalist Brad Register has a lot on his mind, dropping introspective, psyche-searching parables into thick, illuminating washes of sound.. all of which is punctuated by a throbbing synth line thick enough to carpet the floor with. Summerbirds made waves earlier this year at SXSW where they were handpicked by REM to open for them. Besides REM, the band has also shared stages with Liars, Bloc Party, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Rilo Kiley, Man Man, Explosions In The Sky and many others among indie rock‘s celebrated pantheon. The band independently released their debut full-length “With The Hands of the Hunter it all Becomes Dead“ in 2004 to critical acclaim.

Summerbirds spent much of 2006 on the road, headlining numerous tours and supporting Now It‘s Overhead (Saddle Creek Records) nationally. Register and Brown performed double duty on the tour, performing in both Summerbirds and as the current guitarist and bassist for Now It‘s Overhead.

While trekking back and forth across the nation, Summerbirds continually crafted new material that was marked by the intensity and aggression of their live performances. By the end of the tour, the band was more than ready to return to the studio with Andy LeMaster (Chris Martin, The Faint, Bright Eyes).

Initial demos from “Druids,“ the forthcoming full-length release, showcase staggering growth and suggest a monumental follow-up record. Summerbirds‘s ambitious project features a 30-person children‘s choir on three of the songs, and massive, epic production. Look for the band‘s sophomore full-length “Druids”, early in 2009.
